Chapter III Sun and Moon Grimoire

This year's seventy-six years, Wen Zaihu, who had already passed the Year of Destiny, would often sigh at the ups and downs of his fate.

As an old man who had never left the Wen Family, he had watched the rise and fall of Wen Family in these recent years. Wen Family was originally a famous shop that dealt with soy sauce, and it was renowned for its "old name of Wen Family". However, due to the impact of war, the family s property being destroyed, the old patriarch who had been bewitched by his swine friends, not only had he sunk into poison, but he had also started a business of slave trading.

After the death of the former Patriarch, only the Weibo, abandoned ancestral home, and a large number of creditors remained on the Wen Family. Wen Zaihu, who was guarding his ancestral home alone, felt that he would soon follow this rundown house and rot away together with it. Unexpectedly, Wen Qubing, who had been away from home for so many years, suddenly returned and inherited a family business that had more debts than assets.

"Uncle Zai, I'm not a genius. I don't have any mysterious tricks up my sleeves. I only have one strategy, and that is to do things that others do not dare to do. I will do what others are unwilling to do! What others cannot do, I will do! "

With this oath, the new owner of Wen Family was undoubtedly a radical person, walking the most extreme path: Not only did he break into the slave market, he even sold these people to the most profitable overseas countries. Not only did he not leave any leeway, he even shook his head while looking at the business, but he took this opportunity to open up a business overseas, and also started a smuggling business.

Smuggling weapons and equipment was already a high-profit business, and he was especially radical. He used the technology to travel these weapons and transport them across Pan Jiang, selling them in various Beasts s in the south. After ignoring the Hundred Clan War s, "Selling weapons to Beasts, beheading entire families" was a ban, and he earned more than two times the profits from smuggling these weapons.

In order to ensure the origin of the goods, Slave Merchants often walked together with the bounty hunters and officials, and Wen Family was no exception, but the moment he stepped into this business, he dared to touch those hot potato that others were afraid of, and competed with those top big trading companies, rushing to catch the work of chasing after the remnants of Fragmentary Star Group. The number of Star Breaker who died at the hands of the Wen Family was unknown.

In the beginning, Wen Zaihu was very afraid, Fragmentary Star Group was not something to be trifled with. Its illustrious reputation, was written with the blood of countless strong people during the period of Hundred Clan War, even if its main force had already died, there could still be strong people amongst its remnants, who were on the brink of death and would bite back at it. Any major power would fear it, and with the weak strength of Wen Family, it was definitely a disaster that brought about their own destruction.

"..." But he succeeded.

Thinking back to it now, Wen Zaihu, who had participated in this entire process, still felt that it was unbelievable. But this Patriarch, who had no power to speak of, with his understanding of medicine, and with his crafty plans, poisoned, plotted, ambushed, and threatened … Seventy percent of the Star Breaker that had fallen in these past few years had died in the hands of the Wen Family, and a large number of their remnants had also fallen into the pockets of the Wen Family.

This was the reason behind the rapid rise of Wen Family. Later on, Wen Zaihu realized even more that after obtaining a certain amount of wealth and status, Wen Family had also attracted the coveting of many great powers and great figures. This was a trial that all the small developing forces were unable to escape from.

However, Wen Family had severely attacked the Star Breaker, and the act of actively pulling the aggro onto them made them feel very comfortable. This kind of rearing hound had a very high utilization value, and Wen Family had displayed a ruthless and black-hearted way during the process of striking the Fragmentary Star Group, which made them rather hesitant, and they didn't dare to carelessly stretch out their hands.

Only now did Wen Zaihu understand the intentions of his Patriarch. From the very beginning, this young man had already thought of a goal and decided to follow the plan step by step. Although he walked in a straight line, with every step he took, he thought of the problems he would encounter and made preparations.

Even if he himself did not have much power, his mind and eyes, on the other hand, were able to direct the direction of the Wen Family, leading to the future. This was actually more important than any transcendent powers, and making his Wen Family respect them from head to toe …

"..." As usual, first give the weapons of High Rank to the regular customers. How much did you order for Pan Jiang's Beasts Alliance? "

Sitting on the chair, Wen Qubing asked about the order status, Wen Zaihu replied: "Eight pieces, but High Rank weapons, the more the merrier, this time we can make a few more than usual, as long as we release the news, the various clans' Beast King s will definitely …"

"Forget it."

Wen Qubing shook his head: "We are purely negotiating with those Beasts, there is no need to be biased towards them, they also won't teach us some basic principles and commodities … "Of course, we still have to strive for the maximum benefit."

"But if it's purely in terms of profits, it's very difficult for buyers to offer twice as much as Beasts …" As Wen Zaihu spoke, he suddenly realized something, "Patriarch, do you want to go to the black market to participate in the Xu City's dark market auction?"

"That's it. Find some middlemen and let this batch out. We'll catch the Auction in Xudu this time and go up to the auction to see who's going to win."

Wen Qubing said lightly, but Wen Zaihu knew that the patriarch's thoughts were definitely not that simple.

The main target of Auction was the Empire's Homo Clan. The various Beasts in the Pan Jiang forest did not have forging techniques, and could not buy good weapons, so they were willing to pay double, or even several times the price to buy military equipment. However, ordinary Homo Clan warriors did not have such strong needs.

Therefore, sending weapons to the dark market was definitely not the best way to maximize benefits. The head of the family should have his own plans, but as for what those plans were …

Wen Zaihu didn't plan to pursue the matter further, he only said: "Patriarch is truly brilliant. Your methods of doing business often make an old fellow like me feel that I'm unable to keep up."

"Save your idle chatter. Uncle Zai, I am a little interested in the matter of Xu Du. Tell some people to prepare for a while, I want to make a trip to Xu Du."

"Master, you're going to make a trip yourself?"

Wen Zaihu was shocked. There were many enemies along the way, countless people coveted for it, and countless of people wanted to kill this Head of Wen Family, causing him to either hide at home and not come out, or go out to do business. His movements were erratic and was not easy to control, if not, he would have been killed by killers long ago.

"Isn't that inappropriate? Clan Head, you have the body of a thousand gold, participating in auctions and the like, don't they usually be auctioned off by people? Why do you have to do it yourself? Furthermore, do you think that you would take the Nine Yin Canon seriously? "

Wen Zaihu thought that it was funny, this kind of publicity stunt, even he could not believe it, so how could the Patriarch take it seriously?

It was said that all of them came from a supreme Daoist scripture, the "Hongjun True Scripture", that contained everything in it. The Jade Void Sect was viewed as an arch wall, but many years ago, it was peeped upon by the evil people and recorded down in secret. It was spread throughout the earth and became a "Sun Moon Grimoire." In order to compete for the Grimoire, it caused massacres one after another and caused an entire era to go by.

During the continuous fighting, the Sun Moon Grimoire was first broken down into Yin and Yang, then it was torn apart to pieces, then it became even more scattered and scattered. Finally, it was passed around to the world, and there were only incomplete records.

There were actually many similar legends on the continent, but no one believed them after they spread out from the Auction. Because, it was unknown when the merchants who presided over the Auction started using these legendary items to advertise. They casually created some words and faked them into ancient books, saying that it was a remnant of some kind of treasure book, and used the characteristics of "incomplete" to mislead people.

Even if people had doubts and were unwilling to spend money, as long as they could attract a crowd, it would be the best advertisement. Therefore, when they heard it was a fragment, all the veterans in the martial arts world would know what was going on and only the rookies would fall for it.

"..." It's hard to say, maybe this time... Not like Tai Yi. "

Wen Qubing thought for a moment, then said: "Send a message to the Guard Captain, I'm going to the Xu Capital..."

When he said the three words "Guard Captain", Wen Zaihu felt that his eyes lit up all of a sudden, calling things bad.

This Guard Captain was a very peculiar existence in the Wen Family, he was single-handedly recruited by the Patriarch, who was only responsible for him, did not listen to anyone's commands, and had an independent team under his command, composed of bounty hunters who were responsible for external activities and capturing people, especially Star Breaker.

Wen Zaihu had some complaints about the existence of this group of people. This was undoubtedly the most important fighting strength that the Wen Family had cultivated, but he himself, the general director, knew nothing about everything inside, and he still had to spend a large amount of money every month. It truly pained him, and he also felt helpless about it …

"Speaking of the captain of the guards, there just happened to be a message from there. Patriarch, please think twice …" Wen Zaihu said cautiously: "The remnants of the Star Breaker, plans to assassinate you …"

"Oh."

Wen Qubing was unconcerned, he even scratched his head twice, completely disregarded the matter. Since he was using Star Breaker's corpse to his advantage, his aggro would definitely be high, and he would definitely want to assassinate him. This was not counted as intelligence.

"This time is different from the past." Wen Zaihu shook his head: "A message from the head guard, there's a rumor outside, there might be a big shot in this operation."

"A big shot?" Wen Qubing forced a smile, "Then are there any big shot in this group of dead survivors? Hadn't he been killed long ago? "This is indeed a valuable information …"

"Patriarch, please do not be careless. It's said that there are survivors from the Four War God s of the Fragmentary Star Group." When speaking of important figures, Wen Zaihu's expression also became nervous. He said in a low voice: "Six years ago, the Heaven Decimating Overlord and the Golden Mountain Poison Tyrant, who perished together with their pursuers, very likely did not die. After hibernating for six years, they will have to reappear on the earth.

Hearing the names of these two, Wen Qubing's gaze suddenly shrank. Following that, he used his strength to pat the armrest, and blood immediately appeared on his pale face. He started coughing violently, but started laughing while coughing.

"Ha, this is interesting, interesting, and indeed important information."

Laughing loudly, Wen Qubing walked out and waved his hand as he walked.

"Uncle Zai, send a message to Qing Wei and Xihong, tell them to gather back within three days, and follow me on the road!"

"Yes."

Hearing his master's order, the middle-aged butler bowed in response. He was worried for the Patriarch's health and also thought of the young master who had wandered out many years ago. He held onto a broken umbrella and returned to the already ruined house with a pale face.

"Uncle Zai, has my old man died?"

"Er, yes. Master has returned a lot recently. Young Master, why do you look so pale?" Where have you been all these years... "

'Uncle Zai! '

A simple and calm cry, yet it contained a willpower that could not be questioned. Before anyone could reply, he lightly said, "I want to be the Patriarch, I will support the family business of Wen Family, Uncle Zai, do you want to come?"

The words at that time were like thunder in his ears. He truly did not expect that he would be able to complete this declaration. In just a few short years, everything seemed like a dream. However …

"..." I don't have many years left to live! There's still a lot to do, and to finish it before then, I … "I'm willing to do anything, I can do anything!"
